  1. I am seeing people migrate to drawing apps for note taking more and more now, I am a student.

    The app “Concepts” is drawing app that has lately been covering note taking capabilities as well. They have 2 options for their tool menu:

    A “linear” toolbar (like the one on Goodnotes 6) and a tool “wheel”. The wheel expands to a wheel shaped color palette when picking colors

    Goodnotes needs to implement this option for people who want more space to navigate and take non-linear notes (like mind maps), while also keeping the regular toolbar (for people who who use…

  2. It would be great to have an option to regroup hand drawn text as one chunk of text.

    How i see it: When selecting a chunk of hand drawn arrows, we would have an option to regroup the selected vectors and merge everything as one chunk.

    It would be much easier to move things around.

  3. The Flashcards of GoodNotes 5 have now been removed in GoodNotes 6 and replaced with Study Sets, but Flashcards have a lot of advantages compared to Study Sets:
    1 . You can have an overview of Flashcards in thumbnails while seeing both the question and the answer (in Study Sets you only see the question). This helps with studying and having an overview of the set to see if it is done correctly.
    2. The questions and answers are easier and quicker to create in Flashcards by writing and cutting and pasting as fewer steps are needed as the flashcard…

  4. iOS apps normally update automatically as they become available. For some reason GoodNotes does not do this and the user either a) discovers that notes no longer sync across devices and/or b) discover app needs update by digging into the "About" panel. Normally iOS app updates are minimally impactful but I have now seen GoodNote cloud sync break twice and require manual intervention by user to discover the issue and manually update, I would like to suggest that Goodnotes adopts the process of most all other iOS apps and automatically update in background to minimize user impact.

  11. Because there is no way to contact your company, I am putting my issue here.
    The newest version has an issue on my iPad that while handwriting with the apple pencil, portions of my writing erases without me changing pencil types. If I use the redo button, it will back up to what I just wrote. I have all the latest updates of the app and iPad installed.

  12. I like the dot grid because it’s more subtle than the squared grid, but unfortunately the dot grid is huge now and it sucks! I’d like to submit an idea to have the dot spacings be adjustable. This would be nice to have for the graphed and lined paper as well!

  13. Hello, good note developers.
    I'm a good note user of Windows.
    I'm currently using Surface Pro, and I'm using the third generation of Surface Pen. Currently, the Good Note for Windows supports the noose function with a side button. Please make it possible to customize the function of the side button. Side buttons can be customized with various functions such as changing an eraser, changing a pen type, and changing color, not a snare. I really like the ability to use the eraser on the back. If I can customize the side buttons I want, it will be a more…

  15. Please add an option to open documents with “page width view” (just like what we have in Microsoft Word) to zoom the page so that the width of the page match the width of the screen (fit to page width).

    I use my iPad in landscape mode and whenever I open a document in Goodnotes, I have to double tap it to view the document in page width view. There should be an option to make this default. Notability opens documents in page width view without doing anything.

  20. have a great idea! Please implement this feature, i can imagine that many users have the same issues.

    I I am creating multiple cards in a learn set, Goodnotes will ask me at the next day to repeat every card. If you have written many card (like 50-70) it can be really hard to learn everything at just one day.
    My idea: the activation of cards. You can decide how many cards you want to activate. Only activated cards will be taken into account at the repetition. That would be super helpful!
    Thank you!
